Description: Jamie Chisholm on why the FTSE 100 does not reflect UK optimism

Sterling is now higher against the dollar than it was at the end of 2012, yet the FTSE 100 is advancing at only half the pace of the S&P 500 and the Dax. Jamie Chisholm, global markets commentator, tells John Authers why the UK's main stock index does not reflect economic optimism.
